Won't say I love you, babe
Won't say I need you, babe
But I'm gonna' get you, babe
And I will not do you wrong
Living's mostly wasting time
And I waste my share of mine
But it never feels too good
So let's don't take too long
Well, you're soft as glass and I'm a gentle man
We got the sky to talk about
And the world to lie upon

Days up and down [bad word]   Like rain on a conga [bad word]   Forget most, remember some
  Oh, but don't turn none away
  Everything is not enough
  Nothing is too much to bear
  Where you've been is good and gone
  All you keep is the getting there
  Well, to live's to fly awe low and high
  So shake the dust off of your wings
  And a sleap out of your eyes

It's goodbye to all my friends
  It's time to leave again
  Here's to all the poetry
  And the pickin' down the line
  I'll miss the system here
  The bottom's low and the trebble's clear
  But it don't pay to think too much
  On things you leave behind
  Well, I may be gone, awe, I won't be long
  I'll be bringing back the melody
  And the rhythm that I find

We all got holes to fill
  And them holes are all that's real
  Some fall on you like a storm
  Sometimes you dig your own
  The choice is yours to make
  Time is yours to take
  Some dive into the sea
  Some toil upon the stone
  Well, to live's to fly awe low and high
  So shake the dust off of your wings
  And the sleep out of your eye
  Awe, shake the dust off of your wings
  And the tears out of your eye
